Anyone know a good how to on this ? I'm wanting to change my rear drums but need a little help!! And off topic, but what would cause my valve cover bolts to leak oil ?????

If you look closely, there are little gaskets or seals underneath the bolts. When they get old, they get brittle and start to crack, which is probably a good indication they need to be changed. You can get a valve cover gasket, spark plug tube seals, and those cover bolt seals as a set at local auto parts stores as a set. What do you need to know about drum brakes? I've only dealt with them on my Corolla and they were a PitA, but they rarely wear down since a good majority of the braking is done in the front. I think there is an adjustment screw to toy around with them. I don't have my manual around ATM, but there are a few guys here who can help you with that.

Are you looking to change the pads in your drum brakes, or are you looking into a disk conversion??
A little more specificity would be best

And oil leaking could be a sign of a gasket gone bad
